  • Testing for Arbitrage Opportunities Within the Foreign Exchange Market
    TESTING FOR ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET TESTIG FOR ARBITRAGE OPPORTUITIES WITHI THE FOREIG EXCHAGE MARKET Imran Hussain An Independent Study Presented to The Graduate School of Bangkok University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Business Administration 2009 © 2009 Imran Hussain All Right Reserved Hussain, Imran. Master of Business Administration, June 2009, Graduate School, Bangkok University Testing For Arbitrage Opportunities within the Foreign Exchange Market (51 pp.) Advisor of Independent Study: Andrew R. Criswell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study aims to determine whether or not arbitrage opportunities exist within the retail foreign exchange market and how the number of opportunities compares to those found within the interbank foreign exchange market. The concept of triangular arbitrage is used within this study to identify potential arbitrage opportunities. This study makes use of minute frequency data obtained from a retail foreign exchange broker involving the US dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. This study covers a one week period from 4th to the 10th of April 2009, over which arbitrage opportunities are tested for using the triangular arbitrage trade strategy. This study also tested to see if triangular parity is a good predictor of future currency movement. This study finds that some arbitrage opportunities do exist within the retail foreign exchange market, however the returns of these opportunities suggests that the retail foreign exchange market falls in line with the efficient market hypothesis. This study finds that arbitrage opportunities in the form of triangular arbitrage are more common within the interbank market than the retail market. This study also finds that triangular parity is not a good predictor of currency movement.
